Profile: Navarro has an assortment of okay skills, but nothing truly stands out. However, with the ability to play multiple infield positions and the outfield, he could see some playing time if one of the Pirates' many youngsters flops. (Mike Podhorzer)

Profile: Yamaico Navarro has shown great promise in the high minors, and he finally get a chance to show his skills in 2013. Even with Clint Barmes entrenched at shortstop, Navarro may be able to steal playing time away should the veteran struggle early on. Navarro may be small in stature, but he’s shown some power in the minor leagues, and he’s also more than willing to take a walk. 150 at bats, spread over three seasons, have not given the 25-year-old a fair chance to exhibit these skills, and even though PNC Park will kill any power potential he has, he could be an interesting waiver wire pickup in on-base percentage leagues. (Zach Sanders)

The Quick Opinion: Yamaico Navarro has shown promise in the high minors, and 2013 may finally be the year that he gets an extended look in the bigs. Navarro could be an interesting waiver wire pickup in on-base percentage leagues.

Profile: The New York Yankees signed Yamaico Navarro to a minor league deal with a spring training invite this winter, a prudent move that shores up their infield depth. Primarily a shortstop and third baseman but capable of playing just about anywhere, Navarro has a strong minor league track record in terms of both discipline and power, slashing .269/.355/.442 with 28 home runs over the past three partial seasons at Triple-A. And not for nothing, but Navarro has been killing it in the Caribbean Winter League. That doesn’t change the fact that he’s posted a weighted offenese that has been 61% worse than league average in 199 major league plate appearances, but it’s intriguing nonetheless. There’s not a clear spot on the 25-man roster for Navarro, but an injury to any number of Yankees could open the door for the 26-year old to prove he can bring near league-average offense in a super-utility role. (Blake Murphy)

The Quick Opinion: Yamaico Navarro hasn't shown it in the majors yet, but he possesses a decent bat with appreciable discipline and can play all around the diamond. It's not difficult to see a Yankee infielder getting hurt and opening up playing time for Navarro to prove it.

Profile: In the minor leagues, Navarro spent seven years showing patience, power, and somewhere around league-average contact rates, all while being something of an asset everywhere on the infield. In the major leagues, Navarro has spent four years showing not one single part of that. So he took his game to Korea, where he hit .308/.417/.552 with 31 home runs. America instead reached for his leaguemate Jung-Ho Kang, and so Navarro re-upped in Korea. If he can re-up on that season he just had, he may get some interest stateside, but the thinking may just be that he's had his chances with Major League Baseball and couldn't hack it. Funny what 199 bad plate appearances can do to a career. Stash the name for later. (Eno Sarris)

The Quick Opinion: Navarro will spend the year in Korea, but if he mashes like he did last year, maybe he'll get some major league interest.
